This year marks fifteen years since BCBN was established with a simple ambition: to identify community need, bring together the right partners and develop practical solutions to some of the challenges facing communities across the UK.
As we celebrate this milestone, we would like to thank our partners, supporters and the many organisations who have been part of #BCBN's journey over the past fifteen years.
• Bringing together business leaders, #charities, researchers, public services and community organisations to strengthen communities and improve lives. Built a trusted platform for grant-making, programme incubation that continues to strengthen #communities nationwide.
🔨 A £3,000 BCBN grant helped @RammyMen expand its NEET Woodwork Project — turning a small workshop into a space where 176 people gained skills, confidence, and connection through 758+ hours of training. 🙌

Resilient Minds is a new schools programme by BCBN, in partnership with @ChilternLT and sponsored by @Muslim_Aid
We’re working with over 2,200 students across Luton to support mental health, resilience, and youth leadership through culturally sensitive, student-led initiatives.
Announcing BCBN’s New Flagship Programme: Resilient Minds. This #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek, we're proud to launch Resilient Minds — a bold new school-based programme supporting the mental health and wellbeing of young Muslims in Luton.
For over a decade, BCBN has invested in initiatives that uplift and protect young people—from tackling youth violence to improving access to faith. We incubate projects and programmes that address the most pressing social challenges facing Muslim communities across the UK.
